Sited on a lakefront parcel with southerly views across the water and the 17th hole, 686 Hermitage Circle is a fully renovated Mediterranean estate in the gated Frenchman's Reserve community of Palm Beach Gardens. Renovations were completed in 2026, yielding a modern interior within the 2003 structure, with Wolf and Sub-Zero kitchens, pecky cypress ceilings, and a glass stairway railing throughout.

Architecture & Renovation

The renovation introduced a soft, light palette and contemporary accents to the Mediterranean shell. A glass stairway railing opens the entry and living rooms to natural light, while pecky cypress ceilings in the family room and casual dining area preserve warmth. A brand new tile roof caps the exterior.

Main Floor Interior

The entry leads into bright, open living rooms anchored by the glass railing detail. The family room and casual dining area feature a modern fireplace and those pecky cypress ceilings, with views sweeping south across the lake and 17th fairway. The kitchen is built around a 48-inch Wolf rangetop with infrared griddle, Wolf double wall ovens, a Wolf microwave drawer, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer columns, a Galley Ideal workstation and sink, two Bosch dishwashers, and quartz countertop and backsplash throughout.

A bar with two U-Line refrigerator drawers sits adjacent. The primary suite occupies the main floor and includes a private sauna. Also on this level: a media room, an additional guest suite, formal dining room, library, and laundry.

Second Floor

Four additional ensuite bedrooms occupy the second floor alongside a dedicated workspace. A great room designed for billiards and entertaining anchors the upper level.

Outdoor Living & Grounds

The rear grounds face south toward the lake and the 17th hole. A covered loggia with summer kitchen transitions to the heated pool and spa, controlled via Aqualink smart phone-based system. The lot measures 0.34 acres with a three-car garage.

Systems & Infrastructure

The property includes a whole-house commercial-grade water filtration system and a separate drinking water filtration system. The sauna in the primary suite, Aqualink smart pool controls, and the brand new tile roof round out the mechanical upgrades completed as part of the 2026 renovation.
